Peter Foster's solicitor has insisted his firm had no advice from Cherie Blair in the convicted fraudster's deportation case.
David Janes' statement came after a newspaper claimed Mrs Blair had been involved in the case.

Following his wife's emotional public statement, Tony Blair speaks of the pride he feels for Cherie. But despite his effort to draw a line under the affair the Conservatives still press for a public inquiry.

Tony Blair joins the row over his wife's involvement with Peter Foster's deportation case, insisting it was "handled entirely properly".
He was speaking after it emerged his wife had phoned the fraudster's solicitors.

Number 10 dismisses suggestions that the prime minister's wife backed an attempt by a convicted fraudster to market a healthy lifestyle programme for children. The Sunday Times alleged Mr Foster boasted how he hoped to get her support.

Downing Street insists there was nothing wrong in Cherie Blair's purchase of two flats with the help of a convicted fraudster. She has faced criticism after confirming Peter Foster had helped her despite earlier denials from the Number 10 press office.

Mrs Blair says that if she has caused "any misunderstanding between the Number 10 press office and the media... I regret that". It comes after the publication of e-mails between her and Mr Foster when Downing Street had denied any connection between the pair.
